suit. The pleasure attending this hap
py meeting was shared by all who wit
messed it. It is needless to say that
the pair were the Swedish captain
and the lady whom / assisted
to escape from Constantinople.
That truth is indeed stranger than
fiction is here exemplifed. After
leaving Constantinople their Joy was
unspeakable in discovering that they
had been lovers in their childhood.
She was the faxen. haired girl for whom
my friend had pinned SO long. When
they parted as children her family
went to Moscow, where they remained
several years, and where she had the
advantage of an excellent education
and became a proficient linguist- Her
great beauty attracted universal at
tention. She was courted by many,
but won by none. Her father received
the appointment Of consul at Odessa,
but he gave up this place and they mi-
grated to Alexandria, where he be-
came grain exporter. This frequent
|ly necessitated Journeys into the in
terror Of Egypt. and his beautiful
daughter was his constant compan-
ion. During one Of these excursions
their caravan was assaulted by Arabs.
The men were slaughtered and robbed;
and the women were disposed Of
among the chiefs. She fell to the lot
Of one who sold her into the harem
whence she was rescued by us. When
the pair arrived at Falmouth, after
the rescue, they were married, and
sailed Tor Antwerp, whore some Of her

A Southern View of It.

The two sections began life together
and formed a government. The south
had the advantage of soil, climate and
wealth. At the end of eishty-four years
the two grappled and fought. The
Yankee section came to the fight richer
and stronger than our southern section,
and beat us into the earth while we did
our best. To-day these Yankees are
rich in everything, and we are poor in
everything but manhood and woman
hood, and have less than we began with
100 years back. These same Yankees
furnish the bulk Of the capital We use,
the food we eat, the clothes we wear,
the books we read and study, and the
high-grade teaching in the normal
schools of the southern states.
Almost every convenience of life and
invention Of art or science We know
comes from these same people, who
have in ten years done more with Flor
ida than the Florida natives have done
in fifty. Almost any n of their large
communities could buy the whole south
for a park if they liked it for that pur-
pose. In a fight they could crush us
like egg shells. In politics they are our
masters, and we have to hold our breath
in every big campaign to avoid offend
ing them. Their percentage of ignor-
ance is one-tenth Of ours, When trouble
comes on rs we depend on them fol
most Of the help, and get it.
The world knows them as America
and us as outlying and unconsidered
provinces. They are producing the
representative poets, painters ant
authors OF the country, while we trai.
along behind with u eyes fixed or
them, hardly daring to hope that We
may become as strong and rich, and
enlightened as they are by years o.
hard work.

The Chadron papers, which las, fall

The Chadron papers, which last fall
expressed SO much confidence in the
matter Of adding the b. 4 NJ. to Chad
ron's railroad ~accessions, have for the
past month or two been conspicuous for
their silence upon the subject. The
latest issue Of the Journal, however,
contains the following which would in
dictate that their silence has been due
to loss Of confidence in the matter OF
securing the road
"The story is current of late that the
b. *. M. Ry. wants $4,000 to come into
Chadron. We don't believe it. If the
B. * M. has intentions Of coming to
Chadron seventy thousand dollars and
seventy thousand men conldn't keep it
away. However, should that railway
make a division here, il would benefit
the city and county many times seventy
thousand dollars"

The Patton bill. by which counties
can be divided, has passed the lower
house Of the Dakota legislature. That
Representative Patton is q great man
and able divider, none of our people
will deny, He is a thorough economist
as well, and he intends to save the
granger part Of the county a large
amount Of money by establishing a
model county government on the divis-
on plan. He will have nothing but
men of stringent economical notions in
office. He will see hat there are no
loop holes by which men can get into
without going through the front door.
The court house will have to be q cheap
one, probably made out Of sod or adobe,
owing to the location. The clerk Of the
county will receive no salary, and be
will have TO keep the records on q qrire
Of foolscap paper, for books are not fur
nished for his ideal county. Every one
| will have TO work on the roads, as 10
taxes are necessary to carry on the bust
ness in the county he is the head Of.
There will be no use of a treasurer's
safe, because taxes can be paid in
tnrnips, potatoes and squashes. In fact,
all business propositions should be dis
continued and tax collecting abolished !;
that is, when Patton's bill is successful
and his ideal county organized.-Pio-

A Little Money Goes A Long Wav

American Merchant; "A little money
sometimes goes a great way. AS an il
lustration of this read the following
founded upon an incident which is said

Il passed tie note to & with the re-
mark that it paid ) Of the 20 dollars he

it 5 of the Is dollars he owed ID.
ID handed it to f, in part payment Of

T. gave it to +, to apply on the $3.50

+ passed it back to A, saying this pays
half of the amount / owe you.
A again passed it to B saying l now
only owe you 5 dollars.
b passed it again to c, with the re-
mark, this reduces my indebtedness to
you to 10 dollars.
c again passed it to d, reducing his
indebtedness to 5 dollars.
u paid it over to +, saying Il now
owe $40"
E handed it again to F, saying; This
reduces my Indebtedness to you to
$3.50.
Again F handed the note to A saying,
NOW don't owe you anything"
A passed il Immediately to B, thus
cancelling the balance Of his indebted
ness.
b handed it to c, reducing his indebt-

the single s. note having paid 1925 and
cancelled As dett to Il, C-s debt to D.,
Es debt to +, and F's debt t A, and at
the same time having reduced BIS debt
TO c from $50 to s., and Dis debt to E

Speculation and Mining.

Notwithstanding the fact that there i.
no legitimate connection between The
two, the fluctuations of the stock ex,
change still largely affect the condition
and prosperity of the mining industry
especially in public opinion, and the in.
vestment of capital.
When a change in the prices in grain
on the Chicago Board of Trade causes
the ruin of number Of spectators and
the loss of thousands Of dollars, there is
heard no wholesale condemnation of
the farmer or of his business, as it is
well understood that he is no wav re
sponsible for the result.
The case however is quite different
when the bubble of speculation bursts
in the mining market, and the loss of
millions of dollars, which in fact never
existed, is made public. The press, ana
people generally, Immediately attribute
the disaster to mining, and the fact
serves to illustrate another point made
against its speculative and decentive
character. That this conclusion is nm
just and unworthy is readily apparent
TO any n who will investigate the sub
ject for a moment.
Gold and silver mining differ in no
respect from slate quarrying and coal
mining in aim and purpose. The only
difference is in the character of their
product, and there is no more legitimate
reason or justification for speculation in
one case than in the other.
The true object of every investment
and operation in this direction, is pro-
duction, ard whenever any steps are
outside of this line, the RESPONSE
bility for the result can not be Justly at
tributed to ~mining-an industry which
presents more stable and reliable Quail.

Heavy Freight.
Ilcer.

The Rapid Journa, Of Sunday says
"the freight business is picking up on
the railroad, and it is safe to say that
more freight has arrived in Rapid City
during the past forty-eight hours than
was ever known in the same length of
time In February before. One train
alone yesterday brought in seventeen
cars. In the thirty-six hours closed at
seven o'clock last night fifty car loads OF
freight. or more than a million pounds,
had arrived here"
This is a mere trife TO what the
freight traffic will be when the railroad
reaches Sturgis in July next and Dead
wood & couple of months later. The in.
coming freight will be much greater and
the outgoing beyond what but few as
yet realize. The shipment of the bul.
lion by that time alone from the Iron
Hill smelters will average at least one
car of $4,000 pounds per day, while from
the other smelters of Ruby Basin and
Galena, there will be shipped twice thai
amount, making the daily shipments o
bullion at least two TO three ears pei
day. Then of the shipments Of ores ne
estimate of these can reasonably b,
made. There are five mines in Rub,
Basin that from present development
each of which could put out severa
hundred tons of ore per day-the Bux
ton the Portland, the Retriver, tn,
Stewart and the Isadora. The same il
the case at Galena with the Cora. III,
Hester A, the General Merritt. and hal
dozen others. Say they could furnish
only 10 tons each every "a hours, thi.
would load ten to twelve cars with ore
per day. By the time the railroad
reaches the Black Hills terminus mex
fall there will be secured fully a steady
freight of bullion and ores alone, O.
from II to Is cars every day, equal tc
100000 pounds a day-over two million
pounds per week. over eight million
pounds per month, and exceeding one
hundred million pounds per year, OF
over 400 car loads.-Herald.
